There’s no stopping this. And you’ll be amazed how easily it will pass the Senate. A year from now, the attitude will be “We got socialized medicine, and the world didn’t end! Those demotards were right.” 2010 will not be a bloodbath, people forget. And the ugly stuff doesn’t hit until 2013, remember. That is deliberately planned.
The GOP will be lucky to pick up twenty seats in the House, maybe even ten. The republic has been dying for decades; the ascension of Teleprompter Jesus is just the arrival of the minister for the funeral. Barry was right, the Nation Below Canada is no more exceptional than Greece or Turkey or Zimbabwe. The voters have seen to that.
It is time to sack DC.
Reid hasn’t got a lock on 60 votes—not by a long shot. You think senators don’t read polls? You think they didn’t notice independents in VA and NJ went for the GOP two-to-one? You think they don’t realize the public hates this bill? You think it’s only Nelson or Lincoln who will be hard to pin down? Take Dorgan of North Dakota. He’s high in the polls—but Gov. Hoeven is even higher—and there’s talk about his running against Dorgan. If he does, Dorgan is finished. You think he doesn’t worry about how his vote will effect that race? And Dorgan’s only one among many. You think Warner and Webb didn’t notice what happened in VA? You think Feinstein isn’t worried about piling even more debt on CA with a huge state mandate?
And you’re totally wrong about 2010. Did you see what happened at the townhalls and at the Washington march this August? You think people aren’t raging mad about this usurpation of their freedom? You think they’re not in the mood to throw the bums out? Think again. All the polls show otherwise. Nobody who knows politics is ignoring these signposts. On the contrary, we’re in a cold civil war—and the liberals have awakened a sleeping giant. The people are awake and alert and fighting made. Heads are going to roll.
It’s true the health care bill doesn’t really kick in until 2013—but the taxes kick in right away. You think the public won’t react negatively to that? It’s already furious over TARP, over the bailouts, over the takeover of the banks—without anything being done to rescue the little guy who’s drowning in upside-down mortgages and taxes and credit card debt. Sure the public will stay mad. They’re watching the whole country become California.
